Conversations

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Connor and I have a very similar conversation in the car on the way to school. We talk about him controlling his body and his hands. We talk about when it’s appropriate to be silly and when it’s not appropriate. We talk about what our hands are made for (sharing, loving, etc.) and what they are NOT made for. We talk about his ability to make good choices, about the sticker he will earn, and how he won’t have to x out his smiley faces.

Okay, writing that out makes it seem way overkill…it’s really not. But Connor has some issues related to these things, and I have found if we talk every morning about what’s expected of him, his days are much better. His day today was so good today that his teacher sent a note home saying how good he did!

Anyway, I digress. This morning during our conversation, Connor spent a good 5 minutes telling me all about his “remember-minder” and his “forget-minder”. What? Your kids don’t have one of those? Well, Connor could tell you all about it. Today, his remember-minder was turned on. It almost turned off at nap time, but at the last second, it turned back on. He kept his “forget-minder” turned off all day, hence the great day at school.

That kid cracks me up. Seriously. Were does he come up with this stuff?

I hope his remember-minder remains intact. It was a great day!
